The membership of Commission 28 is so large, and the spread of research
interests so broad, that the research highlights presented here of
necessity represent just a small subset of the work carried out over the
past three years. Progress in the area of galaxy evolution continues to
be particularly rapid, driven by both the availability of new
multi-wavelength survey data and the development of increasingly
sophisticated simulations to model the complex behaviour of stars and
gas (e.g. Agertz et al. 2011; Guo et al. 2011; Keres et al. 2009; Schaye
et al. 2010).
